This week was great. We had a change happen in my companionship, we are now 3 in the companionship. He is a Filipino coming from a California mission. His mission is being dissolved and he will finish his mission here, it’s awesome. We are seeing many many miracles. I hope you all had a great week. It was holy week here. lots of people were on vacation but many many people were at home and remembering Jesus Christ and his Atonement. It was cool.
On Tuesday we taught this really great new investigator. The spirit was so strong. There are so many people that are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it. The lesson was great and he accepted a baptismal date, which was amazing. So excited for what we are seeing in this area.
On Wednesday we had some exchanges and I was in a different area, but the day was still great. I was able to learn a lot of new things. Some things I learned were actually specific things I was trying to improve on, so it shows that the Lord can and will answer our prayers.
On Thursday we taught one of our progressing investigators. He is on fire and reading the Book of Mormon. I can see how powerful of an effect the Book of Mormon has had on him. We went to visit a less active and had a miracle happen. His aunt is willing to be taught! There are just so many people out there that are waiting to be found and taught.
On Friday we were able to find a new family. It was wonderful, people are just so receptive and even more so this week because of holy week. We taught another fire investigator. As she reads, comes to church, and lives the commandments we have seen her just get happier. The Gospel is the best.
On Saturday we had another miracle. It being holy week, we had a better chance of finding some people at home (if they didn't go on vacation) because there was no work. So we were able to find a tatay of a member and he is so interested. He asks great questions and super sincere. It was amazing and its super close to our house so its not hard to get there. We went to the investigator where we speak English, it was a very very spiritual lesson. They have lost a parent and the plan of salvation really touched them. Especially the part about work for the dead, they loved that part. It reminded me of how amazing that doctrine is, how important it is to go to the temple and prepare family names. Then after that lesson they finally accepted a baptismal date!!! We could really see the spirit working on them, such a great miracle. Later that day we were finally able to contact a referral we had received. He had been busy the first time we tried to contact him. This guy is so awesome. So thankful for all the amazing things that happened.
On Sunday we were fasting and I can testify that fasting and prayer works. It really works! We received a text right before we left for church, if our investigator could travel with us there and he is the one who lives super close, so we gave him a ride and he had a great time at church. He was planning on leaving early but ended up staying the whole time, which was also Easter Sunday. I just want to say how thankful I am that Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and died for us. Also, that I am super thankful and happy that he didn't just die but he lives and rose again and has now restored His church. I know that Jesus Christ lives and loves each and every one of us and cares for us so much and is in the small details of our lives. I know He is our Redeemer and Savior and only through Him can we return.
Monday was good too. We were able to extend another baptismal date!!! Really saw some great progress this past week. It’s been great working in a three some companionship. We have three brains working on things and the lessons are all so great. I hope you all have a great week and remember how much Jesus Christ loves you. Also, keep reading the Book of Mormon and you will feel God's love.
